Assistant Intro

By my side, as always, is the man who helps me do the things I can't be bothered doing. Like a walking Roomba with a lovely singing voice, it's Paul Williams.

Taskmaster's Sign-off

One episode down ― we did it. And better yet, we did a lot of learning along the way too. We learned that human flight is kind of no big deal. We've learned that mobile phones are no more useful than a long piece of string. And most importantly, we've learned that Matt Heath is the winner of episode one!
